Show Notes

All the buzz is about FacebookCoin, I mean FacePalmCoin, I mean Libra today with the release of the testnet and Libra.org giving much sought after details on the new protocol and what they seek to accomplish with it.  The big question, can it do any of what it says, and what other projects does it compete with really?  We read numerous twitter posts, including a great thread by Caitlin Long, tweets from Andreas, details sourced by Jameson Lopp, and more in today's Guy's Take episode.
